See you at the burgen kin!

 Sooo long time, no see haha just kidding; we just talked like 4 or 5 days ago lol, but let me tell ya, it's been a wild 5 days:) 


The highlight of the week was going to the temple! As always, the temple gives me the strength I need to keep pushing forward as a missionary! I can't even explain in words how excited I get to go to the temple! I'm like a little 3 year old girl on Christmas morning when she sees a pink bike with sparkles on the handle bars... (yep. I did that as a 3 year old) but anyways, I was jumping up and down when we got the news about going to the temple! 

Moving on, on Friday we were having a lesson with one of our recent converts when the topic came up about pets... I said dogs, Sister Peterson said cats, and Lumos (other member) said octopus... he did say that they make great chess players, so I guess that's what we're going to do folks! When you go to the zoo, and see the octopus missing, you never heard anything lol

We also met with our recent convert Francisco this week and he's the sweetest soul! He's from Chile and only speaks Spanish... he's trying to teach us and we are trying to teach him English lol! He uses Google translate, and here's what one of his texts said: "see you at the burgen kin." ( translates to burger King) oh he's my favorite, and he just wants to understand the scriptures so badly! He has such a dedicated heart and I love it! 

A couple other fun things that happened this week: 
- we went to the zoo, and saw IGUANAS, MONKEYS, ALBINO ALLIGATORS, FLAMINGOS, A SLOTH, and... A LIGER! just kidding lol we saw a tiger though and it was muy cool! 
- we helped a man man move, and he is a musician! He had lots of things that are covered in cat hair and when he picked up the harmonica to play it... all the cat hair and dust went into his mouth and he SWALLOWED IT! *throws up internally* I almost died right then and there lol no jokes 
- Sister Peterson almost got hit by the car saving egg rolls on the ground... hahaha 
- Sister Peterson also dropped her name tag in the toilet haha and I had to get it out lol

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about the Book of Mormon! IT IS SO POWERFUL! I'm not even kidding! We talked a lot about it this week and we have the book of Mormon today because of the faith of the early saints who defended what they knew to be true! So many miracles happened, and it's evidence of God's love for His children! The Book of Mormon is an invitation to come and make Covenants with God! I've seen how it changes people's lives and solve problems! I know it sounds crazy, and you probably wonder how that's even possible, but "everything is possible if you just believe!" I know it's true! And I love it with my whole heart! It's my very favorite thing, and I feel naked without it! (Quite literally haha) I challenge all of you to really dive into the Book of Mormon, and when you learn something new about Christ, don't keep it to yourself! Share the goodness:) 

Love, 
Sister Jensen

Elder Morrison said what??!

  Woa Guan Man! (That is how they say good morning in Jamaica!) Our friend Antonio taught us that the first time we went to see him haha! I just have to say, I love people. This week especially was just full of so many different kinds of people, and I LOVE IT!  I'm just going to sum this week up in some bullet points:) - Let me start with Joe... Joe came up to us in Bass Pro shop and took our whole district to lunch! He was following us around, and we were a little scared and then he was super friendly, and sometimes a little too friendly. He sat in between Sister Mcleod and I and we each went one by one around the table teaching the restoration HA! He grabbed Sister Mcleod's and my hand, and he was like staring into our souls... kinda scary, but he was an adventure to say the least.  - Also, I don't think I've ever been more tired in my entire life! Literally! We woke up at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to film a music video for the Creole Facebook page, and it was so...

Chia pets, and shattered glass!!

  Hola mis amigos! Another transfer; GONE! I'm staying in Boynton Beach with Sister Anderson:) Time is just flying! I am so grateful to be a missionary! Seriously, I wouldn't have it any other way:) Okay let's get to what all of yall actually want to hear haha!  We have been teaching this super cool guy, Adam. There's a couple things you need to know about Adam: he has no concept of time, he wants to be baptized, and he has a lot of girl problems lol. He is always asking us for relationship advice... like of all people he asks the 2 girls who can't even have relationships haha anyways we just sit and listen. But he really does want to be baptized, so we are working with him to achieve that goal! We made a deal with him that if he doesn't smoke for one week, we will quit sugar. That one didn't last very long. I'm not going to say who cracked first, but let's just say we had ice cream last night haha.  Now for the crazy. Because you know I can't go...

Dori said to "Just keep swimming," so that's what I did...

  Oh-M-Goodness! If I could put every emotion into one week, this would be the week. I'm not even kidding. We cried, we laughed, we died, we "swam", we sang, we were happy, and we were sad. Everything in one:) "BREAKING NEWS, 2 SISTER MISSIONARIES STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AMAZON FLORIDA JUNGLE" no im kidding. For starters, I have NEVER seen this much rain in my entire life. This week we had a literal downpour. It was basically raining cats and dogs! I think we had 29 inches of water, and honestly, we probably had more than that. We were heading back home from our tech council, and we got stuck on this one street that was backed up for days because it was flooded! Every time a car would pass us, our car would lift off the ground a little bit because the waves! We were driving through the ocean. It wasn't funny at the moment, but it was funny to look back on, and especially watch all our videos. I found that we got distracted a lot, and ended up praying i...
